The Museum Collection
Twenty years ago our winemaking team began putting away our flagship wines with the intention for the bottles to be enjoyed at a later date.It was envisioned that beautifully aged wines, released every year, would promote the reputation of surviving heirloom vineyards and consistently show the skilled craftsmanship behind our Yalumba collection.
Our 2025 release builds on that milestone with the second release of our back vintage programme.These wines are aged up to 20 years and capture the essence of our commitment to wines of pedigree and exceptional quality.We have addressed the challenge associated with preserving wines under optimal storage conditions, thereby ensuring their maturity and quality.
